Congratulations!

If you’re reading this, you likely finished a very important project. You sacrificed your time, resources and probably your sanity, to finally reach the finish line. We at IndieEye Film Awards have gone through the same creative marathon and we understand how it feels. IndieEye is for filmmakers, by filmmakers.

IndieEye Film Awards is a monthly and annual online event which celebrates Independent U.S. and international films of all genres.

Our platform exists to discover those independent gems which deserve recognition. We love indie films - no budget, micro budget, low budget - WE ARE YOUR PEOPLE.

Not everyone has blockbuster budgets to work with, so we respect and embrace the power of storytelling with the resources available. Having been through the process ourselves many times, we appreciate the hard work and dedication required to complete an independent short or feature.

We select and award films in each monthly edition. Official selections are screened privately for consideration. Monthly competition winners are then eligible for our annual awards. Official selections and winners will receive laurels.

Monthly and annual selections will be listed on our website. As we grow our social media presence, IndieEye will create individual Instagram posts for winners to share.

IndieEye Film Awards is committed to supporting the creative community from which we came. Show us what you have!

Each month, we will choose Official Selections and Winners for:

Best Narrative Feature Film
Best Narrative Short
Best Documentary Feature
Best Documentary Short
Best Music Video

  • "IndieEye Film Awards" is a top tier film festival. They do so much more than just the conventional norms. They'll watch your movie and give it an honest and fair shake, yes, but there's so much more to their method. They comb over every detail and will give feedback that ensures growth and development as a filmmaker. They aren't a festival built around the foundation of winning, but rather, a festival built around the spirit of movie magic. The key thing to take away from film is the poetry it displays, and IndieEye embraces that poetry. They also offer written reviews that'll highlight the victories and remedy the faults with constructive criticism.
